I came up with the name dork squats because I felt so silly doing them. Using the pad for the bar has always been taboo for me as a former powerlifter but I did need to eliminate the bruises. I knew from the past the having my heels raises worked my quads more but once the toes get over the knees it can be dangerous for the patella. I did practice for a while with lighter weights before doing a double with 585 raw. The pause at the bottom was something we also used in powerlifting as well. It helped to develop more power out of the bottom which recruits more muscle fibers in theory.

I suggest trying this with very light weight. I wear a belt even though I stay very upright. Also warm up on the bike for 5-10 minutes with some passive stretches as well. Give this new exercise a try and your quads will grow like never before.
